Wrobel definitely cares about what he teaches. I would have loved the class if I cared more for earth science, but he still made it interesting. Funny and laid back guy

He was great! Made everything straightforward and the class isn't too bad if you have good cheat sheets.

Prof. Wrobel is passionate and very funny, but the class can be challenging. There are two midterms, a final, and worksheet labs. Exams are multiple choice with cheat sheets, yet still difficult. He moves quickly, and study guides aren't very helpful. If you are not a science person and seeking an easy GE, this is not the class for you.

Just pay half attention and put an effort into your cheat sheet, and it should be an easy A! As a humanities major, this was a lovely GE!

This was a fun GE to take because of how passionate Alex was on the material. For the midterm and final the only studying I did was making the cheat sheets and I was able to do well, but there was some tricky questions. The online weekly quizzes and in-class labs help boost your grade. Just make sure you're actively learning and you should do fine!

good teacher but do not take this as a GE if you want an easy A. The tests were extremely hard even with a cheat sheet. average in this class was a B which should not be normal for a GE

I really loved him as a professor, he is clearly very passionate and makes his lectures engaging. However, i attended every single lecture and studied so much and still received a B because 2 midterms and 1 final make up 60% of the grade and there were some gotcha questions. Id still take his class again!

Honestly did not have many expectations coming into this class, I had heard it was "hard" but in my experience it has been pretty chill. He is an amazing lecturer and you can really feel his passion and energy which was quite refreshing. Tests are fine since we are given a cheat sheet. Overall 10/10 class and professor would take again.

Lecture is not mandatory, weekly small section 'labs' are mandatory. Midterm and final were mp with a cheat sheet. Caring and interesting prof, would take again

LOVED professor Wrobel and his class. Although it was a lot, it was manageable and my TA was awesome. He's such an engaging lecturer and feels really approachable and accessible outside of class. Attendance isn't mandatory but the info from lectures is so important so definitely show up. Taking his other LD class next quarter and very excited.
